Mook; maybe your "landlord" will let you and "Driver" screen the next
prospective tentants,might cut down on the turnover rate!![:D]

You know,we've got a friend named "Rose" that's looking for a place to stay;
in that area,think you could help?[}:)]

New neighbors - after 5 weeks, lots of door banging, one session of stealing our two papers practically right in front of our eyes - left lock, stock and almost the entire barrel last Friday early morning.

Left a rented big screen tv that is almost as big as our Q bed, lots of clutter, food and......kool-aid stains all over the brand new carpet.

All is quiet again on the western front!

Tree - I like the handled dog! Needs a small sailor hat!

MC - send water. We still didn't get much of anything. I have heard of sewer rats, but don't think sewer and chicken is good.
Ah - a rose by any other name....GAK!

I am off to find some more future neighbors to annoy! Maybe I can get them before they moof in.....?

Mwhahaha

Now, I'll say Good Thursday morning, everyone!! Coffee is on, and juice is made for
this morning. Believe it or not, our temp actually got down to 59 this morning!! I turned
off the fan in the living room, because my goose bumps had goose bumps!!

Breakfast this morning: sausage, bacon, sausage gravy, biscuits, and scrambled
eggs.

Are there any requests for lunch and supper today?

Everyone have a great day, and, as Joe says, "Stay safe".

Brian, Little House on the Prairie was actually filmed on the land used to
film Bonanza, in California. Learned that little tidbit several years ago,
after Michael Landon passed away.

mutt: I've been volunteering for the ARC for ~ 8 years now. Disaster Services to 1st Aid Training...etc. I can't join the military cuz of a bad knee so that's how I'm serving my country.


At least LHOTP was more realistic than Marty Stouffer's 'Wild America'! (rolling my eyes)

You mean that it's all flat around there?!!!!!!!![:0][:0]
Who says that TV shows don't take "artistic License"?

MC; you mean that there's no Doc. Quinn around!?!?

Have you been hanging out with the Ingalls family recently("Little House On The Prarie"fame?)[}:)]

Colorado doesn't want 'em[}:)]....Try Mansfield, MO; Ingalls, KS and NE Iowa that are all claiming them. We got Doc Suzie, Baby Doe, Mollie Brown, Susan McGoffin and a whole other set of stories. (What happened to Josie, our budding author anyhow?)

We're still trying to "figger owt" how Marshal Dillon always got from Dodge City to the mountains 300 miles away so quick - Was his horse hiding a jet-pack under those saddle bags?[:D]

Locomutt: Just got this mo. trains mag. What a co- inky-dink ,pg. 44 has a good lay out ofmap of the mo. . It looks like the hump has moved no.to Chillicothe??? I was last to get the issue ( the only houre on the road) today. Would be interesting to see if thats so.

Adirondack ended up with three washouts on the section I work, leading to a couple of slow orders (and the first Form D Line Ones some of the conductors had ever copied). All's well now, and the Utica trains should start running tomorrow.

The water has gone down (although some of it is still working its way north, leaving some lowlands a tad damp). The devastation is pretty heavy in the southern tier of NY, though. Binghampton is reporting some 800 houses destroyed, many roads have ceased to exist, bridges have been washed out. It's gonna be a mess for a while.

Think I saw some leftovers in the cooler that looked pretty good. I'll just settle in and wait for the 99 and 44/100 percent pure surfing video.

Joe & Mutt: Last night was re-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-aly QUIET here. Between the rainstorm and the fire/fireworks ban (red flag warning), about the only noise heard here was thunder. Our fireworks are supposed to happen tonight if Ma Nature quits stormin' on our head (which we don't mind either)

Got some I can loan him..... Even has a handle on the back for plucking said waterlogged canine out of the water.

(That's my pup, out sailing with me)

[locomutt]

Joe; didn't have that problem with "car alarms" last night,
just all the "other" inconsiderate people setting off "fireworks"
all night long!![|)][zzz]

howdy
glad everyone is back safe and sound.mamma said that when they were at the fireworks last night they were good because they set off peoples car alarms.

Um...Moookster.....better be doing your rain dance so that dirty feathers can "hang 7.5" with a bar of soap today. Just spent 3 hours sloshing around in a sanitary sewer to help solve a crisis in the nose-bleed section of Denver. (60 year old concrete sewer collapsed - can't flush some of those gold plated toities....sewers backing up at a few overpriced eateries).

Chris: Pontoons on the truckdriving Scottie seems to work. Gets around just fine in the backyard rice paddy. (UP had a minor washout at Sedalia on Sunday morning down below BigLift, the penalty for being closer to Plum Creek than BNSF)

(Hanging 7.5 because the cheese slicer wouldn't do cheese but it would do chicken)[:-^][:-^][:-^]

Glad I took the "EvelynWoodSpedReadin'Course" so I could cover 7 pages of forum and about that many diner pages.

To catch up - we got a tidbit of rain, but not enough to do more than ruin MIllie's new wash job. We did get lower humidity and cooler weather - the 4th was delightful. BNSF is off to the races. They kept trying to crowd more than the 6 allowable trains on our tracks. Some were so close, I was sure they would nudge each other.

Had several house fires due to the Duh factor.

One serious injury - holding a box of illegal fireworks on his lap - dropped a cigarette ash - poof. He now will sing soprano in the "I am a Law Abiding Citizen" choir.

LimitedClear - you are back! I am so glad!

Found out this weekend - if you get a prescription from your pharmacy - count your pills. We were shorted 4 pills on two separate prescriptions. That and the neighbors stealing my papers off my porch (whilst I was at home!) - it wasn't pretty at our house.... the kitty was really miffed. Poor Driver - he will have to order two new ears, since I think I burnt his off.

Maybe that is why he kept dragging me trackside - so I would calm down...... Smart man!

Well, off to keep looking for the chicken and the soap. Fortunately, there is always a day-brightener in this group!

I hope everyone had a safe Fourth. I decided to spend mine volunteering for the American Red Cross's 1st Aid Tent at the city's 4th celebration to give something back to my community. It sure was interesting. I treated two of my "Top 5" most serious injuries there: a GSW and a stabbing! The worst part was that both were children! pray that everone else had a good day.

Sorry to 'bum' people out....I had to get that off my chest. Well I better scoot...got 10hrs at work today. Be back for snacks tonite.

Dan; That was a very good thing you did,by volunteering for "work" like that.
a lot of other people wouldn't do anything like that at all.
As far as getting "things off your chest",that's the best way to deal with situations
like that,talk about them. "Seasoned People" have trouble with things like that also;especially when it comes to "kids".
The first GSW I ever treated,scared me[censored]less,I sure didn't want to be in that line of fire. I respect people who do things like you did.

Thanks. I'll try to spend a bit more time here. Made some recent "quality of life" adjustments so I'm hoping to have a little more time...

Ready for breakfast here. After a soggy 4th things are looking better today. Still drying out from the floods. Glad I live in the hills. Beautiful cloudless morning, a typical first day back to work after a weekend of rain...

<Swims into the Diner>

Good Morning All,

I'd like to thank all of you out east for sending the rain our way. Unfortunately it all arrived on the same day at the same time. Was out at Bandimere Speedway last night watching some bracket racing. At the end of the evening there were to be some jet cars and fireworks. Lo and behold the skies opened up and did it start pouring!

While the officials had to call off al races, they said that they would be doing fire works. Alas! My friend, his family and I were all drenched, and decided that going home and finding dry clothes would be more enjoyable than waiting an hour and a half for fireworks.

This was the first 4th in my 25 years that I actually didn't go out and watch fireworks. Oh well, we really did need the moisture (though not the flash flooding that popped up here and there). Sounds like we're in this weather pattern for at least a day or two more, as well. Now that the 4th is over, I say let it come!

Hope you all have a great, short week!

TTFN!

P.S. MC, did you get the pontoons on your pup? I see that everything we got headed down south. Heard reports about a chicken with a bar of soap out in a downpour that way... [:D]

[JoeKoh]

well gather around everyone. I'm sure a kitty will have stories to tell after some chocolate cake and a quick nap.
stay safe

Hi all, it's been a very enjoyable four-day weekend here, and we finished it today by hosting our daughter's future in-laws for grilled Iowa chops. Beautiful day, too, but we were too tired to venture downtown for CR's annual fireworks extravaganza. Watched it on TV instead. Back to the salt mine tomorrow...[sigh]
